COLLEGE ITSELF
STAYING UP LATE, OR NEVER MAKING IT TO BED
MEETING DIFFERENT GREEKS, GOSSIP FILLING UP MY HEAD...
PARTYING, CELEBRATIONS, TALENT SHOWS, PAGENTS, INTERVIEWS, HALL MEETINGS
KEEPING GOOD GRADES, WHILE ALL MY FRIENDS KEEP GETTING ACADEMIC PROBATION...
LATE NIGHT FIRE DRILLS, MICROWAVEABLE MEALS
WALMART TRIPS, ORGANIZATIONAL FAIRS, COMMUNICATIONS WEEK, TOUR GUIDES, SPRING FEST
LATE NIGHT SNACKS, RENTING DVDS, MOVIE NIGHTS, GIRLS NIGHT, FUN NIGHTS
SHORT DAYS, LONG WEEKS, LONG NIGHTS
ALL THE TRIPS TO SPEEDWAY, LET'S JUST CHILL MISSIONS
LEARNING NEW WORDS, LEARNING NEW DANCES
HEARING DIFFERENT ACCENTS, MISSING CLASS, TAKING RISK, TAKING CHANCES
GETTING A HUSTLE, SPLURGING WIT THE REFUND CHECKS
CROWDS GET HYPE AT THE GAMES, ESPECIALLY IF WE WON
BELLS, CHEERLEADERS, BASKETBALL FANS, FOOTBALL ROOKIES, A1 BAND
WALKING IN CROWDS, GOING CRAZY IN THE STANDS
FROM CHICAGO, DETROIT, AND EVEN FROM CLEVELAND, COLOMBUS, CINCINNATI, AND EVEN FROM DAYTON
THE GOSSIP, THE DRAMA, THE LOVING, THE HATING
PERFORMANCES, PLAYS, CHOIR, STEP SHOWS
AS I REFLECT ON THESE 4 YEARS I'M GLAD IT'S COLLEGE I CHOSE.
